Smallmouth Bass
For smallmouth bass near Vineyard, Utah, Utah Lake is your primary destination. While often overlooked for its largemouth population, Utah Lake also harbors a healthy population of smallmouth. The most productive times to fish for them are during the spring and fall. In the spring, target rocky shorelines and points as the water warms. In the fall, focus on deeper structure and drop-offs. A local's secret: try fishing the riprap along the causeway that crosses the lake; it holds a surprising number of smallmouth. Saratoga Springs Marina provides good access to this area. Utah Lake can be turbid, so using lures with vibration or bright colors can help attract the fish. While not known for trophy-sized smallmouth, Utah Lake offers consistent action and is a worthwhile option for anglers looking to target bronzebacks in the area.
